Some days are good, while others are really not. But by some coincidence the good and the bad tend to fall on the same days of the week. And of course, if anyone were to have an opinion on this, it would be the opinionated and fabulous Jack Sparrow.
Monday
Mondays, though not the real beginning of the week, they kick off work or school and general conducting of one's business. Sometimes, more often than not, we do not want to roll out of bed and face a new week of uncomfortable social interaction, stressful deadlines, and not nearly enough time to do everything on our ever growing to-do lists. Can Monday just go away? But that would be a paradox, wouldn't it?
Tuesday
By Tuesday, we're sort of functioning as normal human beings, mostly. But sometimes what comes out of our mouths isn't always coherent or remotely intelligent. But to our brains it makes perfect sense so why can't other people just understand this complicated explanation of events and necessary subsequent actions? Well, because our brains are smashing the keyboard and hoping words appear on the screen of our tongues.
Wednesday
A Happy Hump Day! It's the halfway point, and the coffee, or in Jack's case rum, has run out and oftentimes so has our motivation. Our casks are empty so we use the last drops to push forward, as much as we really don't want to. Here's where our patience is low with incompetence and situations that aren't working out in our favor. Like Jack, sometimes we fill hopeless and at a loss of how exactly we're going to push through to the weekend.
Thursdays
It's almost the weekend, break into a sprint! Although what is chasing us are our looming responsibilities and deadlines. And Lord, is that terrifying. Just get us to the ship, or the weekend and we won't be sacrificed to the math, science and history test gods!
Friday
So long suckers! We're off the clock, farewell, adieu. Enjoy your weekend. I probably failed this test or my boss will hate my report but we will worry about it come the dreaded Monday. It's a moment of freedom, of breath, and we plan to get lots of sleep in preparation for next weeks stress and obligations.
Saturday
Who needs sleep? Let's party! Jack's a big fan of parties, and most of the time weekends are not as restful as we'd hoped and we're just as busy with this baseball game, that birthday dinner and Sunday Football tailgates. Live it up, we'll have time to rest on Sunday, right?
Sunday
Wrong! Oops, we forgot this massive paper that's due tomorrow, or maybe you're in charge of organizing the notes for the Monday morning meeting. Time to kick it in to high gear and do a two days worth of work in less than twelve hours, in between football games and church services. And we're probably crash at some ungodly hour of the morning, and be in need of heaps of coffee come our Monday alarm clock disturbing our well earned and needed REM cycle.
Life is hard. Sleep is a commodity. And our attentions are demanded to new things every five minutes. So, we do our best. We get by. Rinse and repeat. Have a great week, whatever it brings!
